OT: P90X/Health and Fitness Thread

[Sauce Boss]

I actually think you get better results from Ab Ripper if you do it sometime other than right after the workout. I do it three days a week outside of my gym workouts and find it works well. After the P90X workouts you are spent though, so its harder to put full effort into another 15 minutes of tough stuff.

Yeah. It's what I did the other day, took like an hour and a half off then came back and got through it. Gut felt sore as hell today, but I know I really need it. Considering doing it on the "rest" day from now on since it's my biggest weakness, not really sure if it be a great idea though.

I have been shadow boxing for cardio lately.

I do about five rounds at 3 minutes per round and a minute break after a little lifting/ab work. It is amazing how hard it is if you actually throw punches continuously and (at times) as fast as you possibly can.

It's also pretty fun and is more entertaining than most cardio.

I just did the Tough Mudder yesterday and it was awesome. Thought it was more physically challenging than the marathon I ran. Tons of obstacles and lots of cool stuff going on. IE Berlin walls, hill marches, black diamond ski slope slip n' slide, and other random challenges. Really recommend it to anyone looking for a tough challenge.

My buddy and I are planning on trying fasting for a week. Going to go with the Jack Lalanne power jucier and give this a shot. I doubt I will make it a week, but Im going to give it my all lol

So it's been about 2 1/2 weeks since I posted that I got to 178 and sure enough I am at target weight for the summer now at 175 for about a week now. I'm actually getting a little closer to 173 which is remarkable. Thinking if I can get to 168 that be a great weight for me, never ever thought I'd see the 170's let alone the 160's, pretty pumped. Still need to really work on my abs and sides, hopefully with a steady low weight it will kind of naturally disappear a bit.

I'm going to try juicing once my juicer gets here...sounds like it's expensive to buy all the fruit and vegetables needed, but I like the concept!

A juicer seems like one of those things that looks like it works really well on commercials, but would suck once you actually get one

I'm a smoothie freak. Make at least one every day, usually more. There's an Amish grocery store nearby that sells large bags of frozen fruit, so my freezer is always stacked with blueberries, mangoes, raspberries, pineapple, etc. Mix with fat free vanilla yogurt and soy milk and it's great.

This FTW.

But do you juice them db or just blend?

Blend, though to be honest I will probably get a juicer at some point. I like fresh squeezed lemmon and lime juice on a weekly basis and it's a drag to use the little plastic POS. Earlier in the summer I was at a relative's place and made a pitcher of raspberry lemonade using a juicer and fresh fruit and it was like nothing i'd tasted before. Expensive as ****, but pretty extraordinary.

raspberry lemonade

Raspberries, lemon juice, water?

Yup. Blended the raspberries and strained them through a cheese cloth. Juiced the lemons. I had to add a sweetener too so I used Splenda in lieu of sugar. Pretty basic but it turned out great.

Sounds delicious but not something you find here at all.

Similar for me. I work next to a Costco and buy big bags of their frozen fruit. I throw in some of my own stuff if necessary.
